Join photographer Alex Majoli as he presents his new monograph in conversation with curator and writer David Campany

Alex Majoli has been photographing political demonstrations, humanitarian emergencies, and quiet moments of everyday life for eight years across several continents. The images are held together by a sense of theatre. Majoli’s photographs result from his own performance. He and his assistants enter a situation and slowly go about setting up a camera and lights. This activity is a kind of spectacle in itself and observed by those who will eventually be photographed.

Copies of Scene will be available for purchase at the signing after the talk.

Scene is published by MACK with essays by David Campany and Corinne Rondeau.
